How about a moratorium?
What if we were to make January a month of no negative posts? That is, if a newbie posts about something occurring, we thank them for the information instead of doubting their word? If someone says something you disagree with, you thank them for their opinion and keep your negative thoughts to yourself? If you get the urge to be snarky, you simply type your response but don't send it (deleting it later)? If you get the urge to be negative for any reason, you say it to yourself but don't post it?
I promise to not roll my eyes at VPL food posts (sorry, VPL, couldn't resist). I promise to not think "snarky" when Doug is being witty (again, just couldn't resist). I promise to not let the praises to the rafters about the Morses get stuck in my craw and "force" me to say something. I promise that if I don't like the food or service in a restaurant, I will keep it to myself for 31 days. I promise to not let those poor, misguided conservative souls get under my skin.
